Reviews
A well-thought complement to traditional introductions to the philosophy of science. Introduced by leading scholars in their fields, the key debates in the discipline, from inductivism to realism, are not only clarified but enlightened so as to be of interest to students and scholars alike. * Giancarlo Ianulardo, Lecturer in Economics, University of Exeter, UK *
In this classic introductory textbook, now at its second edition, Jim Brown brings together a stellar array of philosophers of science. Each chapter is organised around a central theme - from conventionalism to realism and feminist philosophy of science, among several others - and introduces some classic authors in the field. Study questions and Further Reading suggestions accompany each chapter. This book will continue to be an extremely valuable resource for students approaching the field for the first time and for anyone else wishing to have an introduction to philosophy of science. * Michela Massimi, Professor of Philosophy of Science, University of Edinburgh, UK *
